When you have nowhere else to go for the next three hours, it only makes sense to either drink a lot or write something. On a recent trip to Jamaica, during a three hour bus ride from Montego Bay to the Nassau Valley, I was able to write a screenplay draft another short.

The birth of our newest project came this past New Year's Eve during dinner at La Notte. A few vodka gimlets, some noise from the peanut gallery (a.k.a. our kid), and a few more gimlets gave way to "The Last Gentleman Magician". Without giving too much away, TLGM will involve a magician, his assistant, a terrible boyfriend and a live puppet named Gary who smokes and drinks. Also, this classic trick will play an important part. The way I am approaching the script is to write it as a short story first, and then go from there. It's about loyalty, confidence and coming to the aid of the one you love. You know, the important stuff... |
